Yeah, looked at your recent call-ups on Wikipedia. Not exactly the most inspiring bunch in central defence! Maybe a back 3 / 5 is the way to compensate for that? England don't have great centre halves but playing 3 of them seems to have made us more solid.
Sweden played well in the first half, just wasted chances. Hopefully they will stick one away eventually, or they will be punished like Iceland were for the same mistake.
In all seriousness, it would be great if you could qualify for a tournament. Euro 2016 was great with England, Wales, and the Irish teams, but it was missing Scotland to complete the set. It might happen, you've got some good players like Robertson and Tierney. Just typical Scottish bad luck...
I'm looking forward to seeing them hopefully at Euro 2020. Their fans are great, and comparative to resources, the Iceland team of the past few years have been one of the biggest - if not THE biggest - overachievers in the history of international football, and have sustained this level since...
Either you genuinely believe this, which means you are a) very paranoid; or b) very stupid.
Or, you don't believe it, and are yourself a very transparent, boring, and poor troll, repeating the same old crap over and over.
Which is it?
Never claimed to be an Iceland fan. What I said was that I wanted Iceland to beat Croatia and go through. These are not the same things. Comprehension is not your strong point, is it?
Exactly. The only area Iceland were poor against Croatia was chance conversion. With their goalscoring form at the Euros, they'd have scored 4 or 5 from the chances they had tonight.
It's not a bad night for me at all. I watched an enjoyable game of football between two decent teams. :)
Must be a very bad night for you, though, if all you've got to do is troll me on a forum. I bet you were in meltdown in the Euros when even the two truly shocking Irish teams qualified and...
Yeah, a poor side who have competed with and beaten some of the biggest sides in the world over the last few years. What does that make Scotland? I suppose you'll always have fond memories of beating England in 1882 or whatever to keep you going through these fallow years (or decades). :lol:
As...
He just hates Iceland for some reason.
Probably because he's embarrassed as Scotland are shit and are being shown up by their northern neighbours, Iceland, who actually qualify for tournaments and win games. Just wait until the Faroe Islands qualify for something. :lol:
I'll be watching England play Belgium, and then play in the round of 16. Sounds okay to me. You guys should try the World Cup sometime, you might like it. :)
2-1, Iceland have lost. :/ Still, lots to be proud of for them. Very brave performance, and they would have gone through if they'd converted some more of their chances - they certainly had enough! Hopefully they will make it to the Euros in 2 years time, they bring a lot to these tournaments...
Iceland waste yet another chance. It's not a lack of endeavour or commitment, quite the opposite; just a lack of quality in the final third.
They need all the help Thor can give them!
Croatia 1-0 up. That's probably curtains for Iceland now. :( I saw it coming after they wasted those chances. Still, incredible achievement for such a tiny country to even get here and play well against Croatia and Argentina.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
